Jkt 247001
Background
On December 4, 2015, the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act
(FAST Act, Pub. L. 114–94) was signed
into law. Section 32201 of the FAST Act
amended section 13031 of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 (19
U.S.C. 58c) by requiring certain customs
COBRA user fees and corresponding
limitations to be adjusted by the
Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to
reflect certain increases in inflation.
Sections 24.22 and 24.23 of title 19 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR
24.22 and 24.23) describe the
procedures that implement the
requirements of the FAST Act.
Specifically, paragraph (k) in section
24.22 (19 CFR 24.22(k)) sets forth the
methodology to determine the change in
inflation as well as the factor by which
the fees and limitations will be adjusted,
if necessary. The fees and limitations
subject to adjustment, which are set
forth in Appendix A and Appendix B of
part 24, include the commercial vessel
arrival fees, commercial truck arrival
fees, railroad car arrival fees, private
vessel arrival fees, private aircraft
arrival fees, commercial aircraft and
vessel passenger arrival fees, dutiable
mail fees, customs broker permit user
fees, barges and other bulk carriers
arrival fees, and merchandise processing
fees, as well as the corresponding
limitations.
Determination of Whether an
Adjustment Is Necessary for Fiscal Year
2020
In accordance with 19 CFR 24.22, CBP
must determine annually whether the
fees and limitations must be adjusted to
PO 00000

reflect inflation. For fiscal year 2020,
CBP is making this determination by
comparing the average of the Consumer
Price Index—All Urban Consumers, U.S.
All items, 1982–84 (CPI–U) for the
current year (June 2018–May 2019) with
the average of the CPI–U for the
comparison year (June 2017–May 2018)
to determine the change in inflation, if
any. If there is an increase in the CPI of
greater than one (1) percent, CBP must
adjust the customs COBRA user fees and
corresponding limitations using the
methodology set forth in 19 CFR
24.22(k). Following the steps provided
in paragraph (k)(2) of section 24.22, CBP
has determined that the increase in the
CPI between the most recent June to
May 12-month period (June 2018–May
2019) and the comparison year (June
2017–May 2018) is 2.02 1 percent. As
the increase in the CPI is greater than
one (1) percent, the customs COBRA
user fees and corresponding limitations
must be adjusted for Fiscal Year 2020.
Determination of the Adjusted Fees and
Limitations
Using the methodology set forth in
section 24.22(k)(2) of the CBP
regulations (19 CFR 24.22(k)), CBP has
determined that the factor by which the
base fees and limitations will be
adjusted is 7.167 percent (base fees and
limitations can be found in Appendix A
and B to part 24 of title 19). In reaching
this determination, CBP calculated the
values for each variable found in
1 The figures provided in this notice may be
rounded for publication purposes only. The
calculations for the adjusted fees and limitations
were made using unrounded figures, unless
otherwise noted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) is adjusting certain customs user fees and
corresponding limitations established by the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) for Fiscal Year 2020 in accordance
with the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) as
implemented by CBP regulations.
DATES: The adjusted amounts of customs COBRA user fees and their
corresponding limitations set forth in this notice for Fiscal Year 2020
are required as of October 1, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tina Ghiladi, Director--Office of
Finance, 202-344-3722, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 4, 2015, the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act (FAST Act, Pub. L. 114-94) was signed into law. Section 32201 of
the FAST Act amended section 13031 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 (19 U.S.C. 58c) by requiring certain
customs COBRA user fees and corresponding limitations to be adjusted by
the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to reflect certain increases
in inflation.
Sections 24.22 and 24.23 of title 19 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (19 CFR 24.22 and 24.23) describe the procedures that
implement the requirements of the FAST Act. Specifically, paragraph (k)
in section 24.22 (19 CFR 24.22(k)) sets forth the methodology to
determine the change in inflation as well as the factor by which the
fees and limitations will be adjusted, if necessary. The fees and
limitations subject to adjustment, which are set forth in Appendix A
and Appendix B of part 24, include the commercial vessel arrival fees,
commercial truck arrival fees, railroad car arrival fees, private
vessel arrival fees, private aircraft arrival fees, commercial aircraft
and vessel passenger arrival fees, dutiable mail fees, customs broker
permit user fees, barges and other bulk carriers arrival fees, and
merchandise processing fees, as well as the corresponding limitations.
Determination of Whether an Adjustment Is Necessary for Fiscal Year
2020
In accordance with 19 CFR 24.22, CBP must determine annually
whether the fees and limitations must be adjusted to reflect inflation.
For fiscal year 2020, CBP is making this determination by comparing the
average of the Consumer Price Index--All Urban Consumers, U.S. All
items, 1982-84 (CPI-U) for the current year (June 2018-May 2019) with
the average of the CPI-U for the comparison year (June 2017-May 2018)
to determine the change in inflation, if any. If there is an increase
in the CPI of greater than one (1) percent, CBP must adjust the customs
COBRA user fees and corresponding limitations using the methodology set
forth in 19 CFR 24.22(k). Following the steps provided in paragraph
(k)(2) of section 24.22, CBP has determined that the increase in the
CPI between the most recent June to May 12-month period (June 2018-May
2019) and the comparison year (June 2017-May 2018) is 2.02 \1\ percent.
As the increase in the CPI is greater than one (1) percent, the customs
COBRA user fees and corresponding limitations must be adjusted for
Fiscal Year 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The figures provided in this notice may be rounded for
publication purposes only. The calculations for the adjusted fees
and limitations were made using unrounded figures, unless otherwise
noted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determination of the Adjusted Fees and Limitations
Using the methodology set forth in section 24.22(k)(2) of the CBP
regulations (19 CFR 24.22(k)), CBP has determined that the factor by
which the base fees and limitations will be adjusted is 7.167 percent
(base fees and limitations can be found in Appendix A and B to part 24
of title 19). In reaching this determination, CBP calculated the values
for each variable found in
[[Page 37903]]
paragraph (k) of 19 CFR 24.22 as follows:
The arithmetic average of the CPI-U for June 2018-May
2019, referred to as (A) in the CBP regulations, is 252.922;
The arithmetic average of the CPI-U for Fiscal Year 2014,
referred to as (B), is 236.009;
The arithmetic average of the CPI-U for the comparison
year (June 2017-May 2018), referred to as (C), is 247.540;
The difference between the arithmetic averages of the CPI-
U of the comparison year (June 2017-May 2018) and the current year
(June 2018-May 2019), referred to as (D), is 5.382;
This difference rounded to the nearest whole number,
referred to as (E), is 5;
The percentage change in the arithmetic averages of the
CPI-U of the comparison year (June 2017-May 2018) and the current year
(June 2018-May 2019), referred to as (F), is 2.02 percent;
The difference in the arithmetic average of the CPI-U
between the current year (June 2018-May 2019) and the base year (Fiscal
Year 2014), referred to as (G), is 16.914; and
Lastly, the percentage change in the CPI-U from the base

does not include the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) agricultural
quarantine and inspection (AQI) fee that is collected by CBP on
behalf of USDA. See 7 CFR 354.3(c) and 19 CFR 24.22(c)(1). Once 19
Single Crossing Fees have been paid and used for a vehicle
identification number (VIN)/vehicle in a Decal and Transponder
Online Procurement System (DTOPS) account within a calendar year,
the payment required for the 20th (and subsequent) single-crossing

Truck Arrival fee (for the remainder of that calendar year).
\3\ The Commercial Truck Arrival fee is adjusted down from $5.89
to the nearest lower nickel. See 82 FR 50523 (November 1, 2017).
